I have been using perl 5.8 from Active State for a while without any problems - you 
can get it here:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

I needed it for running scripts like YaBB, that can't run on the perl installation, 
that comes with Sambar.

I have a perl installation outside my Sambar folder, so it don't change when I update 
Sambar.

If you can't find a way to update your scripts to 5.8, then you can make a perl 5.3 
installation outside Sambar. That way you can use perl 5.3 and Sambar 6.0.

If you can't find a full perl 5.3 any where, maybe you can just use the perl file from 
your older Sambar installation.

Hope this will work for you both - Sambar 6.0 is realy a great update - if you ask me 
:)
